The focus on the customer and their requirements underpins the BMW
Group’s presentation of the next steps on the road to digital and
intelligent connectivity between the driver and vehicle at this year’s
Mobile World Congress (MWC) in Barcelona, taking place from 26
February – 1 March.

Another handy digital service will be introduced in 2018 to
further facilitate seamless connectivity. The BMW Digital
Key will make it possible to unlock a BMW using a
smartphone. What’s more, up to five digital copies of the key can be
shared with other users.

Widespread connectivity will also be an essential requirement for
autonomous driving inthefuture. In view of this, theoutdoor area of
the BMW Group stand will feature a BMW i3 in action as part of a
showcase designed to demonstrate that
autonomous driving (Level 5) is set to become a
reality in the not-too-distant future.

A new technological approach to full connectivity between
smartphones and vehicles will also be on show. The eSIM
will soon make it possible to incorporate the vehicle into
the user’s existing mobile phone contract, paving the way for a
whole range of different functions.
